❓ After many disciples deserted Jesus, Christ asked his twelve disciples: “You do not want to leave too, do you?”⠀
.⠀
💬 Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.”⠀
.⠀
🛑 Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you?”⠀
.⠀
🙌 Never forget that you are chosen by God. His handiwork. Created in Christ for good works.

Did you know that 80% of women don’t like how they look? And over 80% of 10-year-olds are afraid of being fat? (Source: Park Nicollet Melrose Center).

👥 Here’s the good news: The Bible shares a different perspective on your body. You reflect the image of God. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

❤️ Read the life-giving words of Scripture today. And begin to see yourself the way God sees you.

This is crazy...simply by expressing gratitude on a daily basis you can improve physical health as well enhance your quality of sleep, heart health, and immune function.
.
🎺As the psalmist declares in Psalm 136: Give thanks to the Lord.
.
📝So take a couple of minutes right now...and just write down a few things youre grateful for today. Your spiritual (and physical) wellbeing will thank you for it.

Read these powerful lyrics from the last song before communion on Sunday.
🎶 “Red Letters” Crowder
__
There I was on death row
Guilty in the first degree
Son of God hanging on a hill
Hell was my destiny
__
The crowd was shouting crucify
Couldve come from these lips of mine
The dirty shame was killing me
It would take a miracle to wash me clean
__
Then I read the red letters
And the ground began to shake
The prison walls started falling
And I became a free man that day
__
Felt like lightning hit my veins
My dead heart began to beat
Breath of God filled my lungs
And the Holy Ghost awakened me
Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me
__
When I read the red letters
And the ground began to shake
The prison walls started falling
And I became a free man that day
__
For God so loved the whole wide world
Sent His only Son to die for me
Arms spread wide for the whole wide world
His arms spread wide where mine should be
Jesus changed my destiny
__
Thank You, God, for red letters
When the ground began to shake
The grace of God started falling
And I became a free man that day
The prison walls started falling
And I am a free man today

Did you know that 2 out of every 3 Christians admit to experiencing a season of spiritual doubt?⠀
__⠀
😔 That’s not all…more than a quarter of Christ⠀
followers still find themselves doubting—right now.⠀
__⠀
⛪️ And the most common response to spiritual⠀
doubt? Stop attending church (Sources: Barna).⠀
__⠀
🙏 But here’s the bottom line: for most us, doubt is⠀
a necessary part of our spiritual journey. You’re not alone. Shoot us a private message if you ever want to talk.
